Many people in the purchase of cosmetics, are to choose to follow the advice of the guide shop guide, but many shopping guides just to be able to smoothly sell the products, will boast of the products. But in fact, 90% of people have bought skin care products without effect. Can't we just fall into the pit again and again? Today, let's share some tips on how to distinguish good and bad cosmetics.
How to distinguish the quality of cosmetics
1. According to the composition, the quality and efficacy of cosmetics are determined by ingredients. According to the state regulations, all cosmetics, whether domestic or imported, must be marked on the instructions, otherwise they will be banned from sale. If the product doesn't even have a list of ingredients, it doesn't have to be considered at all. The ranking in the ingredient list is also mysterious: the higher the ranking, the higher the content of this ingredient in the cosmetics. Water and glycerin are generally located in the front of the list of ingredients, flavors and preservatives (hydroxybenzyl methyl ester / ethyl ester / propyl ester / butyl ester, methyl chloroisothiazolone, phenoxy alcohol, quaternary ammonium salt -15, benzyl alcohol, iodopuryl alcohol butyl butyl formate, imidazolidin, bis (Qiang Jiaji) imidazolidin urea, hydantoin), generally irritating to the skin, so the dosage is small. The end of the table. Do not meet this standard of skin care products, it is recommended not to buy.
2. Looking at the origin, many people will confuse the origin with the place of production. In fact, it is very simple. The origin is actually the birthplace, which is the original birthplace of cosmetic brands or the original origin of commodities. Each brand will only have one origin. For example, Estee Lauder's place of origin is the United States, yayang timely France! The production place is the OEM factory, which refers to the production, production or manufacturing location of goods. Most brands will have multiple production places.
3. Look at the national inspection and quarantine marks. For imported cosmetics that are qualified for inspection and quarantine and allowed to be sold and used, there will be a round Sequin sign on the package of the products. The logo style is round, with the words "China Inspection and Quarantine" and its English abbreviation "CIQ" on the front and a nine digit serial number on the back. Products without this label should be carefully selected by consumers.
4. Looking at the texture, absorption speed and product reputation, the purer the product without harmful substances, the more delicate the texture and the faster the skin absorbs. When smearing, it can feel very slippery and instantly absorbed. In addition, reference to other people's personal experience is also a good reference standard for testing skin care products.
5. Smell, good product ingredients are pure, do not need strong spices to suppress the product odor, but some plants, such as Chinese herbal medicine, taste is normal. It is worth noting here that products with alcohol taste do not necessarily contain alcohol. Other commonly used moisturizing ingredients will have similar taste with alcohol, such as butanediol, etc.
6. Test the temperature with pH test paper: drop some products on the test paper. If the pH value is less than 7, the red color of the test paper is acidic; if the pH value is greater than 7 and the color is blue-green, it is alkaline. If measured to be close to pH7 neutral or close to skin pH 5.5, it means that the skin care product is very mild and will not stimulate the skin. But if you want your make-up water with convergence or exfoliation function, pH value 4-5 is the best. And oily skin use alkaline cleanser, so oil will be stronger.
7. To test the greasiness of skin care products: Method 1: apply a little skin care product on the back of your hand and press it with oil absorbing paper after 3 to 5 minutes. If you can still absorb a lot of oil, that is not good absorption, too greasy. On the contrary, if there is no oil left, it means that the maintenance products are easy to absorb and relatively fresh. Method 2: also take a little of the maintenance products on the back of the hand, after 3 to 5 minutes, turn the hand under the light to observe. If you can still see greasy, it means that it is greasy and hard to absorb.
Suggestions on the purchase of cosmetics
First, when purchasing cosmetics online, try to find out the origin and domestic agents, such as Maybelline and L'Oreal made in Suzhou, as well as the production batch number.
Second, I would like to say that the imported cosmetics are mainly designed for the skin of Westerners, which are not suitable for our Oriental people. Do not think that the imported cosmetics must be good. Brand cosmetics sold in China are basically designed for oriental people, such as domestic L'Oreal and Avon, which are more suitable for Chinese people.
Third, more exchanges with sellers, understand the situation of sellers and commodities in many aspects, and do not be confused by the credibility of merchants.
Fourth, buy cosmetics, mainly to see whether it is suitable for you, and do not let the brand, price become your purchase.
Fifth, use Alipay and other trading tools.
How to distinguish true from false cosmetics
How to distinguish true and false lotion:
1. Smell it. Good products are pure in composition and do not need strong spices to suppress the odor of products. 2, if it is latex, take a glass of water, pour the emulsion into the water a little bit, if floating on the water, it proves that the inside contain oil stone ester (this is not recommended for cosmetics now), shake suddenly, the water becomes milky white, proved that contain emulsifier inside, such cosmetics are not good. If it is poured into the water, the emulsion will sink to the bottom and prove that it does not contain oilstone ester. Oil stone ester can harm the skin, causing skin dryness and water shortage, because it is the main reason for blocking pores, over time, the pores will become larger and larger. That's what experts say. How to distinguish true and false essence: for liquid essence, you must pay attention to the essence and color of the essence when you buy it. If you find the phenomenon of turbidity, precipitation or discoloration, such essence can not be used. Consumers with oily skin, acne and other infectious skin must be careful when buying and using essence. Even if they buy, they should choose the essence of anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects.
How to distinguish true and false Foundation:
Put appropriate amount into water and observe its reaction. Generally, there are three situations: sticking to the edge of the cup, floating on the water, and sinking at the bottom of the cup. These three conditions indicate the composition. Good products do not stick to the edge of the cup, do not float, do not sink the bottom of the cup. a. On the edge of the cup is animal oil. b. Floating on the water is mineral oil. c. At the bottom of the cup are heavy metals, lead, mercury, etc. How to distinguish between true and false make-up: find a silver ornament, put cosmetics or make-up on, silver things turn black, it means there are lead and mercury in cosmetics.
How to distinguish true and false makeup removers:
When you choose, you should first rub some oily foundation or waterproof lipstick. Mascara and other products are put on the back of your hand, then pour down the makeup remover to see if it is easy to blend with make-up products and wipe them off with tissues. The makeup remover placed too long in the store will be like bean curd or salted soybean milk, with lumps. How to identify the true and false cleanser: 1, there is a light fragrance, squeeze in the hand should be water melt, no greasy feeling. 2. Burn with fire, put the cleanser into the spoon and burn it on fire. If the oil is splashed, it is not a good cleanser. If it is more like milk, it means that it is a good cleanser. 3. Take the pH test paper to try to know, just squeeze it on the test paper and you will know.
